A kennel is a good idea for a dog, giving them shade in the summer and a place to dive into out of the rain in the cooler months. Armed with a few planks of plywood, nails, screws and some basic tools you can knock-up a dog house in very little time. If you want to be thrifty you can recycle wood, just as long as it is pet friendly and not treated with potentially harmful chemicals.

If making your own dog house sounds a little ambitious you can always make dog toys, like a tug-of-war, from an old pair of jeans or a treat ball using a tennis ball or a feeding station. Whichever of these doggy DIY projects you choose you'll have fun making them and your best friend will love using them!
